Tenascin‐C induced stimulation of chondrogenesis is dependent on the presence of the C‐terminal fibrinogen‐like globular domain

Abstract: The relationship between structure of tenascin-C (Tn-C), a multi-domain extracellular matrix protein, and its stimulation of chondrogenesis was examined using recombinant Tn-C isoforms (full length or with specific domains deleted) as substrata for undifferentiated chicken mesenchymal cells. Of the Tn-C variants tested, only Tn-C lacking the fibrinogen-like domain or Tn-C comprised solely of fibrinogen-like domains failed to stimulate chondrogenesis. The ability of variants to stimulate chondrogenesis was not … Show more

“…44 TNC has been shown previously to be associated with chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation in vivo in chick embryos and has been shown to promote chondrogenesis in wing bud cultures of chick embryo in vitro. [45][46][47] However, in the presence of a proliferation medium, the mixed matrix of Col I and TNC neither induced osteogenic or adipogenic differentiation nor interfered with subsequent induction of these states. Most importantly, we found that the mixture of TNC and Col I protected MSCs from FasL-induced cell death, and that the effects of survival were due to TNC and not Col I.…”

“…102,103 Additionally, the fibrinogen domain of TN-C plays a pivotal role in stimulating the proliferation of chondrocytes via the ERK/MAPK-pathway. 104 In contrast, the combination of all FNIII-domains decreases the proliferative effect of intact TN-C on glioma cells. 38 …”

“…Tenascin-C presumably interferes by binding both to fibronectin and to syndecan [41]. This would explain why the FNIII repeats as well as the (heparin-binding) fibrinogen-like domain of tenascin-C are required for full anti-spreading activity [43][44][45][46].…”
